Well, if he has manual windows, those still might work.

well 1st off you guys dont have to be dicks and act like some type of idiot. im not claiming to know everything but i know my way around my truck. i dont want to remove them to go faster. (already have the whole harness out) i want to remove everything i can, im making a new harness and dont want to wire up anything i dont have to. im putting an ecu from a 96 into my 94 so i can reprogram the damn thing and have everything out and am ready to start making my harness but i want to eliminate everything i can. dont care about streetable.

Then maybe you should have explained a bit better in your initial post. And we aren't being dicks...... (though, we can be at times.....) we are just having some fun. Perhaps at your expense, but, hey, don't take it personally.

So what is the end goal here???? What are you going to be doing with the truck? Have you considered just grabbing an already existing harness, and modifying it to suit your purpose??

There are a few people that know the fun part of OBD2 swapping an OBD1 vehicle. Talk to Ryan Hogan at www.frptuning.com , several of his customers have done the swap. I don't remember all their names from the FRP group, but I know there's several and one in progress.

hey all is good i can take a good amount of criticism before getting offended, all aside im going to be using the truck as a weekend toy to rip around the woods and dunes. simply a lowbudget type baja/stadium/trophy truck. by low budget i just mean not spending the cost of build a pro spec stadium truck, all in i have budget of 8k to do this build and am trying to keep it even less then that. i have an ecu and harness from a donor 96 ram 1500 but this all just has me overwhelmed so many damn wires and im unsure of about 30-40 percent of it all.
